Police officers and ambulance crews are now equipped with Narcan, a life-saving opiate reversal drug. But LICADD Executive Director Jeff Reynolds says an immediate call to 911 is also critical in preventing deaths.

Reynolds says most of the people that died of overdoses did not die alone, but the people with them were afraid of being arrested if they called the police.
